RE: Vegan Anarchy: The wonderful gift of free will
Great post my friend! You are so right, we all need to wake up to the influence of our choices. Change is hard and it hurts to realize what we are doing to the planet and to the animals.
As a vegan I think of this every day and try to softly wake people up around me.
For many it's all about comfort and eating for the sake of your taste buds and not for the sake of your body.
What many people don't realize is that when you start eating clean your taste buds will develop and change. You will start enjoying clean food so much more and really taste the pure flavors.
I'm so happy to see posts like this, it truly inspires me to write more and I just added a topic to my "to write about list" thanks to it :)
Thank you for a good read <3
Thanks for commenting @nicoleslife, I agree!
Agree. Eliminate sugar and salt from your diet, and the junk food starts to taste disgusting and the healthy food starts to taste much better. I still eat meat, but I've shifted my diet way far toward nuts and fruits and raw vegetables, with great health results for my age (63)!
Wow that's amazing and I'm so happy to hear that you are changing your habbits and getting good results :). It's never too late to change your diet and go towards a healthier Lifestyle.
At my age, the payoff to eating smart when young is obvious, dramatic, and tragic. And I PLEAD with any smokers reading this to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to stop NOW. The advertisers and your current peers won't be there for you when you are 60 and wheezing; they'll be busy counting the money that they made off of your slow, agonizing death.
It's a good thing that you are here and can inspire the young ones to eat healthier :).
I totally agree on the smoking. We shoul do all we can to stay healthy and take care of our bodies since as you said. Food compaines, advertisers and so on will not be there for you when you get sick.
And a lot of deciese can be prevented if you keep a good diet, exercise and practise a healthy mindset :)
This is an example of a general and sobering observation: Human society is just as hostile, just as filled with predators, as it ever has been (and always will be). It is critically important for each young person to form properly as a good, strong man or a good, strong woman who takes life seriously and does not waste time working to find a secure place for himself or herself in the world.
Part of this is to be vigilant. Let anyone speak any viewpoint on any topic. But when stupidity is spoken, respond to it persuasively. You will quickly discover whether the opposing speaker is sincere, or is just attempting to manipulate and to spread propaganda that he or she knows is false.
You are so right sir and I could not agree with you more.
We need to be uncomfortable and we need to we willing to evolve constantly.
I'm all in for being a vigilante ;D. It can be scary to call people out when they are wrong but they will eighter appriciate it or get angry. In any case you have nothing to lose and in the best scenario you will have changed someones mind to the better :)
It just so happens that I just finished editing an audio recording of a confrontation in which a drunk homeless man made threats against a Starbucks employee last night. It's a good illustration of what each and every one of us need to have the courage to do. Evil runs freely largely because those who consider themselves to be good really are just cowards. Really being alive, really caring, really being unselfish requires courage and selflessness.
Wow looking forward to take a look at that.
You are so right and everybody think that it's none of their business. Growing up in a small community where everyone look after each other I know that is not true.
We all need to help and stand up for each other and for me it have become even clearer with the #metoo campaign that we really need to step up and show some courage. It's risky and you might take a hit but we need to show it's not ok to act out on your evil impulses.
